Stories for Boys & Girls (cont.)
Elvis closed the original thread because of server problems, NOT because of what was posted.
__________________While some may feel it's now best to drop this topic, I wanted to stress on how unnecessary the actions of "sneaking" into the heart really are. So here is what would have been my reply in the original thread: Quote:
![]() While it is true that only 300 people get in the heart, many people choose to go OUTSIDE the heart, at the tip. This is for obvious reasons (the band, Bono in particular, spends a lot of time at the tip). At the Boston show, I had a number over 150 (can't recall any more) yet still had a choice of being very close to the very tip outside the heart or stand along the rail inside the heart (when I went into the arena). I chose inside the heart (just for the memory), however, I think outside at the tip is a better spot. Many other people agree with this view, and as such, even people with high numbers (over 400) can still get into the heart (if that is your only goal). The advantages to being inside the heart is more room to bounce ![]() Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to being outside the heart, at the tip, as well. Outside the heart (again, at the tip) I can pretty much guarantee that if you leave, you will not get your spot back (unless you have an OUSTANDING group of strong friends with you who will help you retain that spot) and there is a lot of pushing (not good for smaller people). However, the advantages are that Bono almost always selects a person outside the heart to be on the ramp with him (either dancing/hugging or playing an instrument). Also, Bono spends a lot of time there, so you have a great close-up view - may even get to touch him if you are right at the tip. Needless to say, if you are probably one of the first 500 people in line, you have a chance of being in or very close to the heart. Therefore, if anyone else feels they need to "sneak" to get into the heart - stop worrying. You'll make it. Let's not have U2 fans fighting each other for that spot. |

The tip gets my vote to the heart anyday....during the 18/08 Earls Court show I attended Bono spent plenty of time around the tip (his back often to the people in the heart, as did Edge when he ventured forward...and if I remember the girl plucked from the audience was about 6-7 people back dead straight to the tip..the girl was literally carried over peoples heads to Bono. The heart is fantastic but its not the be all and end all of a U2 gig

I wish I had known this earlier.

Oh Dr.Who-Tell the Damn Truth.

![]() ![]() ![]() Please don't be offended by my rejuventation of this thread. Also, please note that no where in my first post did I comment on any of your actions - rather, I discussed the advantages/disadvantages of the heart/tip and what people do. I just wanted people who didn't know (like yourself) to learn so that they are prepared when they go to a concert. |

Yes Dr MathimaticianWhoButt yes u were by 150 ppl, just barely..as I was #300 something
Remember one thing though Bono asked me to molest him-(pick him up) and what-not..for the record.. So the masses in THAT Arena could applaud and endorse the MESSAGE of THE MUSIC- good "Dr." And Miller-Lite would be appropiate for Providence-Dr./Mr.-"Hot-Shot" Thank You- -Diamond- PS nice new sig-btw-..DB9 ------------------ "...The big guy is made of STEEL." - Bono as we stood together on stage at Boston #4, June 9th, 2001. --- Click on the following links for story and pics re Boston 4: http://www.arizonaautoweb.com/bono/ http://members.aol.com/diamondbruno9/ [This message has been edited by Diamond The U2 Patriot (edited 10-17-2001).] |

it's different from the infamous "Boston fiasco" where people from behind actually got past the people in front of them, who were waiting longer to get in-and unlike you, they wouldn't get into the heart anyway. now that was unfair. also, i imagine it's hard to speculate who's going into the heart and who's going for the tip (out of the first 300 people). i didn't know those people had the choice-i thought the first 300 automatically go into the heart.

![]() Bono: Begorrah, DB9, me lad, I was wondering if you'd do a fine Irish man a favor and molest me right here on stage in front of thousands? DB9: Hoo-ha! Anything for the Bono-man! Now get me some nachos. Seriously, if I ever get a video of that show, I'll be able to proudly say that not only were you literally right in front of me (such that I watched all of the events transpire - like the killing of a few guards), but that I have now talked to you (as you type from your jail cell) on Interference. ![]() Quote:

I was under ths same assumption. In fact, I think a lot of people are. So really though, there's no telling HOW many people will actually get into the heart on a given night. It really depends on the number of people that go to the tip. Right, doctorwho? |
